No. 7 Illinois nips No. 8 Lehigh 22-18 in wrestling

It’s not like you could see the smoke venting from Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro after his Lehigh wrestlers dropped their second straight match to open the 2011-12 season, but you could hear it from the words he practically spit out following the 22-18 loss to No. 7 Illinois. “If you stand around, you’re trying to get beat,” he said. “We’re standing around. We’re not going into [upper body] ties. We’re standing there with hope. Hope is not a strategy.” Santoro was more than disappointed with

Thou Shall Not Tweet

Somewhere in Roger Goodell's NFL rulebook, presumably right below the entries about torturing animals or DUI manslaughter, will eventually come a paragraph or two on the NFL's newest no-no: Twitter.

The first week of August has seen NFL teams left and right suddenly banning the popular social networking tool from sidelines, locker rooms and all official team functions, fearing that valuable team information (see: "nasty food" menu at Chargers' camp) could be spread among the masses.

The notion seems absurd, and yet at least six teams currently allow no reporting from their practice fields -- the Dolphins, Patriots, Bills, Colts, Saints and Lions. (Denver even took it a step further and banned all cell phones, including those carried in by fans, at ticketed areas of their training camp facilities. Yet, as of August 5 reporters were finally allowed to tweet from the field.)

To add to the absurdity, the Green Pay Packers (so not a typo) currently levy a fine of $1,701 against any player caught Tweeting, while Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano has officially declared Twitter "illegal." (this despite the fact that the team has its own Twitter feed. Meanwhile, nose tackle Jason Ferguson also hilariously declared that he wouldn't open an account because, "I don't want to get fined. Not yet.")

Here in Eagles country, at least three Birds are active on Twitter, but something tells me Stewart Bradley won't be divulging too many team secrets now that he'll miss the entire season with a torn ACL. (For those curious, Lorenzo Booker and Macho Harris are also giving away classified info, like the fact that Brian Westbrook sleeps on a bed filled with hyperbaric chambers.)

Seriously, folks, is the NFL really this out of touch -- or is this anti-Twitter trend actually necessary? Discuss!

A big initiative explained by the company is a push for more sports content. And in collaboration with the NBA and NHL, they've begun loading us up with tons of content from both leagues, including nightly recaps, highlights, interviews, classic games as well as countless other features.
